Today's Dropping Bombs episode features three powerhouses: Brenda Wood, Dr. Ruben West, and Dr. Toby Potter, and the conversation hits different right from the start.
Brenda built multiple successful companies, hundreds of employees, real estate, the whole thing, then spent years in federal prison for a deal gone wrong with the wrong people. She got out, rebuilt from nothing, and now runs a movement helping others do the same.
Dr. Ruben West saw something in Brenda nobody else did and gave her a shot on stage before she even had her footing back. Dr. Toby Potter lost everything in 2008, rebuilt bigger, and now helps others break the chains their past put on them.
Together they break down why most people stay stuck, why behavior never changes without belief, and why the prison most people live in has nothing to do with bars and everything to do with their own mind.
Whether you're stuck, starting over, or just tired of playing small, this one's for you. The journey to becoming the better version of yourself starts here.
